Goldfish Bowl lyrics

[Verse 1]
What will it take for them to leave me alone?
Don't they know I'm just a guy who sings songs?
I'm not promoting no hit record
And I don't have no TV show
And I don't have no reason to live in the goldfish bowl

[Verse 2]
I'm just doing my gigs and I'm on and off the road
Everything I say is not meant to be set in stone
Just because they call me a celebrity
That does not make it true
'Cause I don't believe in the myth, people, so why should you?

[Chorus]
Jazz, blues and funk
That's not rock and roll
Folk with a beat
And little bit of soul
I don't have no hit record
I don't have no TV show
Tell me why should I have to live in this goldfish bowl?

[Organ Solo]

[Verse 3]
Well, there's parasites and psychic vampires feeding on the public at large
Projecting their shadow onto everyone else
Well, the newspaper barons
Are sc*m of the lowest degree
And they prey on everybody, they prey on you and me
[Chorus]
I'm singing jazz, blues and funk
Baby, that's not rock and roll
And folk with a beat
And a little bit of soul
I don't have no hit record
I don't have no TV show
So why should I want to live in this goldfish bowl?

[Saxophone Solo]

[Outro]
So why should I have to live in this goldfish bowl?
